Innovation 1350
- High efficiency, gas-fired, fire tube water heater
- Tankless design with compact footprint
- 1350 MBH
Nexa pairs integrated sensing hardware with free, upgradable software to empower facilities with unprecedented visibility and control over their water systems, helping teams protect assets, deliver consistent performance, and drive measurable ROI.
The AERCO Innovation commercial tankless water heater provides safe, reliable hot water on demand without the need for any significant storage volume to buffer load change and provide stable hot water temperatures. Due to its unique tankless design, the Innovation has the smallest footprint of any commercial water heater saving facility space by eliminating storage tanks and its ability to use common venting. It’s easy to install, simple to service and cost effective eliminating the need for expensive storage tanks, mixing valves and tank circulators. Innovation’s robust AERguard™ heat exchanger assembly improves scale and corrosion resistance for superior reliability and product life.
AERCO’s Innovation 1350 provides safe, reliable domestic hot water for a variety of commercial applications and is ideal for retrofit and new construction projects that require one or multiple 1350 MBH water heaters.
Features and Benefits
- Long-lasting and highly reliable AERguard stainless steel helical firetube heat exchanger assembly is thermal shockproof and scale resistant
- 2-3x warranty protection vs. the competition
- Precise temperature control ±4°F due to dynamic feed-forward sensing and unmatched turndown
- Low operating, maintenance and installation costs
- High efficiency with lower set point of 124°F
- Compact footprint creates more available space
- 1/3 the standby losses compared to conventional tank-type heaters
- Easy installation and venting versatility; direct/conventional venting with PVC, CPVC, Polypropylene or AL29-4C materials
- Low NOx and CO emissions
- Able to daisy-chain multiple units for applications over 1000 MBH
- Eliminates need for mixing valves, tank circulators, storage tanks
Efficiencies up to 99%
The AERCO Innovation water heater utilizes state-of-the-art technology to easily meet highly diverse, demanding commercial and industrial hot water requirements in a compact and reliable condensing design. The durable, high efficient, helical firetube heat exchanger is time tested to be impervious to thermal stress for an extended life. The all stainless steel construction maximizes longevity in the condensing application and the corrugated tubes increase effective heat transfer surface area for optimal thermal efficiencies up to 99%. Enhanced waterside flow distribution maintains constant minimum velocities across the heat exchanger; this keeps solids in suspension and greatly reduces scale dropout to maintain high-efficiency performance and long life.
Precise Temperature Control and up to 20:1 Turndown Delivers Money-Saving Precision
The advanced control system incorporates dynamic feed-forward sensing for precise modulation of its high turndown air/fuel delivery system. These controls fire the unit to accurately match load requirements and produce a tight hot water outlet temperature control. With up to 20:1 turndown, the AERCO Innovation takes maximum advantage of its thermal efficiency, eliminating wasted fuel and reducing operating costs.
Commercial Tankless Design
The unique tankless design gives the ability to operate the system with set points of 120°F or below – saving energy and reducing the risk of scalding. Minimal water volume and maintaining continuous circulation through the unit virtually eliminate the risk of Legionella bacteria growth.
Venting Versatility
Sidewall, through–the–roof, and sealed combustion capabilities provide broad installation flexibility and savings.
Space-Saving Design
The AERCO Innovation is delivered as a single, fully assembled unit. Its small foot print, doorway size, and quiet operation make it ideal for both new construction and retrofit applications.
Double Block and Bleed Gas Train (formerly IRI)
Incorporates two safety shut-off valves in a single valve body with normally open vent valve.
Compatible with Nexa for Smarter Water Management
Innovation water heaters are now compatible with Nexa, the cloud-based water management software from Watts. Nexa provides detailed performance insights, event history, maintenance schedules and more in order to operate the water heater at peak performance, simplify service and maintenance, and reduce cost of ownership.
